William chuckled and said slowly, “Raymond!”
Marcus thought that he had heard it wrongly and he widened his eyes. “Mr. Raymond Saunders? Are you sure?”
“Yeah? Why are you so surprised?”
“Mr. Howard, are you just kidding? Does Raymond like Ms. Taylor? Isn’t that impossible?” Marcus shook his head and rejected it directly.
“Aren’t you being too much?” William glared at Marcus. “Ms. Taylor is a top student who graduated from a famous university. She’s so capable and smart, so how can she be unworthy of Raymond?”
“Ms. Taylor probably fantasizes about someone like Raymond in her dreams, but he definitely wouldn’t like someone like her.” Marcus rolled his eyes. “Mr. Howard, are you… are you trying to make Raymond suffer on purpose? Did he offend you?”
“What are you talking about? Do you think I’m trying to deal with him because he offended me? Let me tell you, I was entrusted by my mother-in-law to find a girlfriend for Raymond because he’s still single! It’s perfectly justifiable!”
Marcus became more and more certain that Raymond had offended William. He gave a reminder when he realized that William wanted to deal with Raymond.
“Mr. Howard, you can’t set Raymond up on a blind date like this, can you? It’s obvious what would happen. Raymond will get angry when she meets Ms. Taylor and he’ll complain to his mother. By then, she will definitely be angry with you.”
William narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “I’ve made up my mind, so don’t be so long-winded. Just tell Ms. Taylor about this and set the date at seven o’clock in the evening.”
He took out his mobile phone and called Natalie after that. “Mom, didn’t you ask me to introduce a girlfriend to Raymond? I have found a suitable partner. She’s the manager of my company’s finance department and she studied abroad. She’s also very talented. I saw a photo and found that she is very good-looking as well.”
Natalie naturally trusted William and she was very happy when she heard this. “Shall we set up a date?”
“I’ve already asked Marcus to inform her, so you should also tell Raymond as well,” William said it so naturally that Marcus felt goosebumps when he stood aside.
“Okay, I’ll talk to Raymond now,” Natalie promised.
William reminded deliberately again, “You must ask him to go and don’t let him cancel the plans at the last minute. After all, this is the first time I’m playing matchmaker.”
William looked at Marcus after he hung up and said, “Give Raymond’s photo to Ms. Taylor and remember the time I just mentioned. They can meet at the Wolf Group Hotel.”
Marcus didn’t dare to refuse, but he was still very curious about how William would play along with his lie that Ms. Taylor was pretty.
“Mr. Howard, Ms. Taylor isn’t good-looking at all, but you just told President Garcia the complete opposite. Aren’t you afraid that your lie…”
“You don’t need to worry about that. You just need to make sure Ms. Taylor shows up at Wolf Group Hotel on a blind date with Raymond tonight.”
Natalie naturally looked up to William and trusted him to carry out the matchmaker role, so she immediately informed Raymond, “William wants to introduce one of his employees to you. She is very beautiful and talented, so you should dress up and go to the Wolf Group to meet her tonight.”
Raymond was not interested at all when he heard that William wanted to set up a blind date. “William wants to introduce a girl to me? How can he be so kind? I’m not going!”
“What are you talking about? How is William not kind?”
“Anyway, I don’t think William has good intentions and he’s not the kind of person who likes to be a matchmaker. Hmm, there must be something fishy about it.”
“William has already told the other party, so how can you decline? Are you trying to make him embarrassed?” Natalie was upset. “William has already arranged everything! No matter what, you have to go and take a look tonight.”
Raymond really had a headache and he tried to explain, “Mom, how could William kindly introduce a girlfriend to me? He’s definitely playing tricks on me and he must have done this to me because of what happened yesterday!”
“Nonsense! You’re being too petty, can’t you be more of a gentleman?” Natalie didn’t believe that William would be so narrow-minded.
“William is the most reliable person I know, so he’ll definitely introduce someone good to you. If you dare to disobey me, I will tell your grandfather and ask him to teach you a lesson!”
Raymond was most afraid of Gavin’s nagging, so he reluctantly agreed.
He went to the Wolf Group as promised at seven o’clock in the evening. On the way there, Raymond wondered what kind of woman William would introduce to him.
She would certainly not be that ugly. After all, William would inevitably be blamed if he went back and told Natalie about it.
William would never do anything like that on the surface, so the woman he wanted to introduce wouldn’t be that bad-looking. Her educational background would be commendable, but she must be a very strange person. Raymond parked his car in the parking lot of Wolf Group as he thought about this.
The security guard quickly came over and opened the door to greet Raymond respectfully. Then, he nodded slightly and strode into Wolf Group Hotel.
The reserved room was on the 18th floor. Raymond had no expectations for his date for tonight, so he calmly pushed the door open and entered the room. His date hadn’t arrived yet.
Raymond sat down and the waiter brought him some tea. Raymond did not touch the tea, but he leaned against the chair and played with his mobile phone instead.
He heard the sound of high heels at the door as he was playing a game and the door was pushed open.
Raymond looked up naturally, but he was shocked when he saw the woman standing at the door.
Was she in the correct room?
The woman gave him a sweet smile just as he was thinking about it. “Are you Mr. Saunders?”
“Yes! You are…” Raymond scrutinized the woman in front of him. He was sure that he didn’t know her, so could she be the girl that William had found for him?
What kind of joke was this?
“I’m Anna Taylor, the financial manager of the Wolf Group!” Anna was very excited to see Raymond, who had a face that looked like it was sculpted by the gods.
Marcus personally went to the finance department to tell her that William had arranged a blind date for her. Although Anna was surprised, she was not very interested until Marcus showed her Raymond’s photo and told her about his family background.
It was only then that Anna’s interest was piqued. Raymond was the only heir of the Saunders family. Not only was he handsome and he had studied abroad, but he also looked exactly like her ideal type.
Although Anna was amazed when she saw Raymond’s photo, she thought that most photos now were photoshopped. Perhaps Raymond’s photos have been heavily edited.
She was shocked when she pushed the door open and saw Raymond’s real appearance.
The photo that Marcus showed her wasn’t edited at all, and Raymond was even more good-looking in real life.
Anna was so excited that she quickly walked over. “Mr. Saunders! Nice to meet you!”
She was really happy that she directly reached out to Raymond and wanted to shake hands with him, but he subconsciously moved back.
Anna’s hand was already under his chin.
